Gimme Some Sugar Cookie

February 10th, 2008

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, you know love is in the air! Or maybe on the air is more appropriate with all of those diamond store commercials pimping their Diamond Heart Pendants for Valentine’s Day. And it’s not just the diamond retailers; it’s also the florists, chocolatiers and teddy bear companies flooding the media with messages designed to do one thing: Mobilize men to open their wallets and spend big bucks on their special lady friend.

But irrespective of the cost, extravagance or sweetness of the gift, no Valentine’s Day is complete without that romantic Valentine’s date. And when it comes to Valentine’s dates, it doesn’t get any more dramatic than the Valentine’s “blind date.”

Blind Date Betty finds herself at the epicenter of a Valentine’s Day thriller when she’s set up on a blind date with the prototypical jock/heartthrob, Biff Johnson. Will sparks fly when Biff meets Blind Date Betty, or will Betty’s chances go down in flames like so many times before? Watch Gimme Some Sugar Cookie to find out for yourself…
